If you think all princesses dress in sparkly tiaras and gowns, you obviously haven’t met Princess Magnolia. She’s the epitome of the perfect royal, but she has one big secret – she’s also the Princess in Black! She’s an action hero who battles monsters and rescues cute goats to save her beloved kingdom. With a horse that turns into Frimplepants the Unicorn, and an alarm that goes off every time she needs to transform into her alter-ego, will Princess Magnolia be able to keep her gargantuan secret from everyone she knows? This is the perfect read for Kindy kids who love to giggle and need a great Book Week hero.
